After the very successful Living Willow Workshop it's now time for our Annual Open Garden in aid of Laois Hospice. This year we will be opening the garden in June so people who know the garden will see different things in bloom! Enjoy the garden, have a cuppa and catch up with friends old and new. The raffle sponsored by local businesses will take place on the day at 5 pm. And we will have the usual selection of home grown plants for sale too. It's all to support Laois Hospice and the wonderful work they do for people in Laois.

Yesterday was another productive day at Gortnalee but I'll just have to catch up on the shedding today or I won't be able to get past the mountain of stuff!
